Hey, I have a few tips
try stay away from foods that contain a lot of oil and grease. Also wear makeup that is a little drier than usual and don't moisturise, and exfoliate every week
hope this helps

If you put your face over a bowl of boiling water the steam will open your pores, if you do this for about 10 minutes then use an exfoliating face wash it works well to clean out blackheads

I've had blackhead issues since I was like 10. my aunt put hot cloth on chin/lip area wear they were, then popped them out with nails, then another compress. it was a little red for a day or 2, but that was it. I wouldn't pop/touch whiteheads though, it may scar...I speak from experience.

Put a paste of egg whites and wash it after it is dry! it helps a lot. Do it twice a week and exfoliate once a week!  :)

Tea tree oil. I use some that I got from Target and Walmart. It did the trick for me.

Mine did not scar, but we didn't wrench on them, if they didn't come out in 1 or 2 squeezes, I waited a few weeks n tried again. but don't do it just because I had success with it, I wouldn't want you to have a mark because of me. I know a derm appointment in upstate NY is $100 with no insurance, maybe look into that :-) they can usually give you something in first visit.
